About

AM I am a computer scientist at Saarland University of Applied Sciences (htw saar), where I am heading the Systems Technology Lab (STL). Before joining htw saar, I worked in the banking sector, mainly in investment banking, regulatory, and risk management projects. Furthermore, I received a PhD (Dr.-Ing.) in distributed systems from TU Darmstadt.

My interests include (not necessarily in that order): business information systems, business process management, incentive systems, persuasion/negotiation, and games of many types. Further interests can be found here. I have seen the fnords.

classicthesis

classicthesis is a template bundle I developed for the typesetting system \(\rm\LaTeX\). The main goal of the template is providing authors with a classic, high-quality typographic style inspired by Robert Bringhurst’s “The Elements of Typographic Style”.

If you like the style, then I would appreciate a postcard: My address can be found in the manual. A collection of the postcards I received so far is available online.
